The site on Shady Lane where the new medical centre is to be built
Planning permission to build a Brand new Doctors Surgery (The Old oaks Medical Centre) on a redundant site in Shady Lane has been granted.
The old site was last used by a firm called Capco Press works over 3 years ago.
The medical practise will merge its Kingstanding Road and Old Oscott Lane surgeries onto this one site.
This should mean relief for long time neighbours at the old surgery sites as their parking should be much improved.
It should also mean the approach to the island situated on Old Oscott Lane near the Dyas Road should be much safer which is some thing residents have been calling for for years..
The new centre is covered by the 997 bus route and has good parking. The centre will also include a chemist.
The new facility will cover approximately 8000 local patients.
A number of residents will be sad to see the old surgeries go but the promised improvements in medical care at the new site should make a real difference.
